Ok guys,

I've decided. I want these rims. 19".

Does anyone know a dealer in Aus that would have them?
If not? Does anyone want to sell them?
Does anyone know anywhere else I can get them from?

Have you done some web searches? Is the wheel available on any other VAG car, considering the Phaeton wasn't sold here in recent versions?

If they are popular enough I suppose you will be able to find a set.

A very quick search and I'm on the VAG wheels page of myturbodiesel.com (v.good for anyone looking at OEM VAG wheels):
http://www.myturbodiesel.com/1000q/wheels/19-20-vw-audi-wheels-5x112.htm

The Helios seems pretty chunky and 19x8.5. I don't recall ever seeing this in Oz but I suppose you'd be able to find replicas fairly easily.

Do some forum research in case it brings up some leads for VW Helios. Good luck!

Meh, I don't like them. I'd get the 18" Omanyt now that you have a complete R32 bodykit!

No no... I like the look of the R32 front and rear but at the same time I don't want to put the R32 standard wheels on my car? I know I am going for the R32 'look' but if I put the Omanyt rims on then I might as well spray my calipers blue. lol

Thanks Bizi for the help.
They are pretty chunky but I LOVE the look of them.

Googled and found a few OLD threads:

Have you made any inquiries yet? There are so many other 19s from Ross and Chris available, I'd be asking them about theirs!
